Numerical analysis of viscous flow around twin-skeg hull forms was conducted according to the variations of distance between skegs and vertical skeg inclinations by using a hydrodynamic analysis system, WAVIS. Six twin-skeg hull forms were derived by combining three distances between skegs (16m, 20m, 24m) and four vertical skeg angles ($0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;20^{\circ}$). It is found that the better resistance performance can be obtained with larger vertical skeg angle and smaller skeg distance for the present test cases. It also can be seen that the same trend is true for the nominal wake distributions in the propeller plane. Those tendencies were confirmed by the experimental results of MOERI. It is shown that numerical analysis can be a useful and practical tool for the evaluation and improvement of hydrodynamic performances for the complex stern hull forms with twin skegs.

In the beginning of the 1990's, numerous shaft bearing damages, especially in aft stern tube bearing, were reported. The main reasons of bearing damages were estimated that hull deflections have been increased by more flexible hulls and propeller dynamic loads have not been considered in shaft alignment. After that time, studies to take into account hull deflections in shaft alignment have been actively carried out, but for the latter leave much to be desired. In this study, the effects of the propeller forces on the propeller shaft bearing have been investigated by estimating thrust eccentricity as reasonable as possible although some assumptions to simulate turning of ship were introduced. Three dimensional nominal wake to estimate thrust eccentricity have been calculated by using CFD analysis and model test in the towing tank. This study presents the procedure to estimate the propeller eccentric forces and their influence on the stern tube bearing for a container carrier. As a result, it has been found that the lateral propeller forces in turning condition should be considered in shaft alignment to prevent shaft bearing damages.

In order to provide a complementary perspective to the effects of the maneuvering motions on the unsteady propeller performance, the numerical simulation of the flow field of the hull-rudder- propeller system is performed by Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Naiver-Stokes (URANS) method. Firstly, the flow fields around the submarine model without the presence of propeller in straight ahead motion and the steady diving maneuvers with submergence rudder deflections of 4°, 8° and 12° are predicted numerically. The non-uniformity characteristic of the nominal wake field is exacerbated with the increase submergence rudder angle. Then the flow field around the SUBOFF-G submarine fitted with the 4381 propeller is simulated. The axial, transverse and vertical unsteady propeller forces in different maneuvering conditions are compared. In general, as the submarine maneuvers more violently, the harmonic amplitudes of the unsteady force at the 2BPF and 3BPF increased more significantly than that at BPF.

The finite volume based multi-block RANS code, WAVIS developed at KRISO, is used to simulate the turbulent flows around a submarine with the realizable $\textsc{k}-\varepsilon$ turbulence model. RANS methods are verified and validated at the level of validation uncertainty 1.54% of the stagnation pressure coefficient for the solution of the turbulent flows around SUBOFF submarine model without appendages. Another SUBOFF configuration, axisymmetric body with four identical stem appendages, is also computed and validated with the experimental data of the nominal wake and hydrodynamic coefficients. The hydrodynamic forces and moments for SUBOFF model and a practical submarine are predicted at several drift and pitch angles. The computed results are in extremely good agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that all the computations at the present study were carried out in a PC and the CPU time required for 2.8 million grids was about 20 hours to get fully converged solution. The current study shows that CFD can be a very useful and cost effective tool for the prediction of the hydrodynamic performance of a submarine in the basic design stage.

선미후류에 포함된 보오텍스 시스템과 프로펠러와의 상호작용을 이론적으로 해석하여 유효반류를 계산하는 방법을 제안하였다. 선미주위의 복잡한 유동을 Poincare의 방정식을 사용하여 수학적으로 표시하였고 임의의 점에서의 교란속도를 물체 표면에 분포되어 있는 쏘오스 및 보오텍스에 의한 유기속도의 표면적분과 유체중 위치하는 쏘오스 및 보오텍스에 의한 유기속도의 체적적분의 함으로 표시하였다. 이 식으로부터 유효속도(effective velocity)를 유체중 보오텍스에 의한 유기속도의 체적적분으로 정의하였다. 유체중의 보오텍스의 위치와 세기는 불균일한 호칭속도(nominal velocity)분포에 포함되어 있는 보오텍스로부터 프로펠러가 작동할 때의 유선변화를 고려하여 보오텍스 운동역학(vortex dynamics)을 만족하도록 결정된다. 이론을 검증하기 위한 계산예로써 축대칭 전단류(shear flow)중 원판형 추진장치가 작동할 때 프로펠러에 의한 유선변화 모형을 변화시켜 유효속도를 계산하였고 양력판 이론에 의한 값과 비교하였다.

Test uncertainty of a towed underwater Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV) system was assessed in a towing tank. To estimate the systematic error and random error of mean velocity and turbulence properties measurement, velocity field of uniform flow was measured. Total uncertainty of the axial component of mean velocity was 1.45% of the uniform flow speed and total uncertainty of turbulence properties was 3.03%. Besides, variation of particle displacement was applied to identify the change of error distribution. In results for variation of particle displacement, the error rapidly increases with particle movement under one pixel. In addition, a nominal wake of a model ship was measured and compared with existing experimental data by five-hole Pitot tubes, Pitot-static tube, and hot wire anemometer. For mean velocity, small local vortex was identified with high spatial resolution of SPIV, but has serious disagreement in local maxima of turbulence properties due to limited sampling rate.

IMO에서 제시한 EEDI를 만족시키기 위해 에너지 절감 장치에 대한 관심이 증대되었다. 본 논문에서는 전류고정날개를 부착한 KVLCC2를 대상선으로 선정하여 에너지 절감 선박에 대해 연구하였다. 계산 결과의 정도를 검증하기 위해 모형선의 공칭반류를 모사하여 실험과 비교하였으며, 실선 스케일 계산에서는 격자 민감도에 대해 불확실성 평가를 하였다. 모형선과 실선 스케일 계산결과를 보면 전류고정날개는 추진기로 유입되는 반류의 회전성분을 변화시켜 추력에 도움을 주었다. ITTC에서 제시한 방법을 이용하여 실선의 성능을 예측해 보았으며, 이를 보안하는 방법을 제안하였다.
